should we multiply the fixed volume variance with the standard absorption rate? I don’t get the answer when I multiply however the text says multiply with the standard fixed absorption rate .
The volume variance is the difference between the actual and budgeted production, multiplied by the standard fixed overhead cost per unit (not per hour).
I suggest that you watch my free lectures on this – the lectures are a complete free course and cover everything needed to be able to pass Paper F2 well.
